Highest Scoring Averages in NBA History (Individual, Single Season PPG)

On March 2, 1962, for the Philadelphia Warriors and against the New York Knicks, Chamberlain had his 100-point game. He also scored 78 and 73 that season. Those games surely pushed him over the top.

This record is pretty much unbreakable. Who the heck is going to average 5o points a game again? Even the G.O.A.T., Michael Jordan, tapped out at 37.09.

Chamberlain has the four best single-season scoring averages of all time, followed by Michael, followed by Chamberlain again. Wilt appears twice more. Same for Michael. Together, they make up half (10 of 20) of the greatest scoring seasons of all time (and seven of the top 10).
